PARENT
ESSENTIALS

Welcome to the ‘everything-you-need-to-know’ part of our website! 

We hope that you will find the answers to everything you’re looking for right here, but if you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to drop a message to info@playboxtheatre.com and we’ll get back to you as quickly as we can.

Parents of Playbox members, and indeed, the whole family, are an important part of life within our company. Whilst it is your child who is regularly working with us, our parents often become a vital part of the experience, especially when young people become involved in productions. There are plenty of opportunities for parents to join our backstage welfare team, to support in the wardrobe department, to become a part of our wonderful ‘Friends Of Playbox’ charity wing, and much more.

We look forward to meeting you all very soon.
